Story
Sven wakes up happy every single day. He’s the kind of dog that always seems to be smiling, always ready for whatever comes next, and always excited to be part of things without becoming overwhelming or chaotic. Sven is a one-year-old mix breed who has the coat and face of a golden retriever and the compact build of a heeler. He has a great middle-ground personality that makes him easy to live with. When it’s time to play, go for a walk, or hang out with other dogs, he’s fully in. But once the excitement is over, he settles down nicely instead of endlessly bouncing off the walls. He gets along great with dogs of all sizes and has a naturally social, easygoing personality that helps him fit into just about any environment. Sven has the fun energy people want in a young dog without the constant intensity that can make some high-energy breeds exhausting. Good fit: someone wanting a happy, social dog that enjoys activity but also knows how to relax and settle into daily life. Adoption process: All adoptions are completed prior to transport. Dogs are picked up at designated transport locations. If an adoption doesn’t work out (rare, but life happens), we always take our dogs back. Location: Oklahoma (available to approved out-of-state adopters via transport) Health: Fully vetted (spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested) Adoption fee: $500 (includes transport + vetting) Transport routes: WA, OR, ID, MT, UT, WY, CO, MN, WI, IA, IL, IN, OH, PA, MD, NY, NJ, VT Think you might be a good fit?

Story
Meet Mochi! A spirited nine-and-a-half-year-old Golden Retriever currently in Monson, MA, whose essence is an athletic burst of enthusiasm wrapped in a lightly golden coat and powered by an enormous love for his people. At 75 pounds, Mochi is a loyal, affectionate boy who believes life is better when there is something fun on the agenda. Fetch? Absolutely! Swimming? He is ready! Running, retrieving balls, and hopping into the car for an adventure? Count him in! Mochi is in very good shape for his age and still approaches activity with impressive enthusiasm. After the fun, he is also happy to relax at home alongside his favorite people. Smart and eager to learn, Mochi has received formal obedience training and knows his basic commands, plus the crowd-pleasing roll over. He is house-trained, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. He receives a daily joint supplement, and green beans are added to his meals to help with weight management. This enthusiastic foodie LOVES eating, perhaps even more than swimming! Food also requires thoughtful management. Mochi has a longstanding pattern of resource guarding and has bitten two family members when they attempted to take food away. The bites did not require medical care. His trigger is consistent, so he needs caregivers who will keep food secured, maintain a tidy environment, and use established management strategies and positive reinforcement. His current guardian can share approaches that have worked successfully for years. Mochi is suitable for a family without young children and would do well with respectful, school-age children and adults. He lives peacefully with a cat but is selective with dogs, particularly larger, assertive males, so he should not regularly share space with another strong-personality dog. A securely fenced yard will give this athlete room to enjoy himself safely. Mochi also has a strong reaction to animals on television. Seeing them on screen can get him very worked up, so the simplest solution is to have him leave the room when animals appear. It is another one of Mochi’s particular sensitivities that his new family will want to understand and accommodate. For a thoughtful, active family prepared to manage his food boundaries, Mochi offers tremendous loyalty, companionship, laughter, and adventure. Could Mochi be the golden adventure buddy you have been waiting to meet? To learn more about adopting Mochi, contact adopt@joyfulpets.com! Content Notice: This pet is represented by Joyful Pets.

Story
Meet Maple! A gentle Golden Retriever mix currently in Princeton, NJ, who is almost twelve years old, whose warm golden coat, soulful eyes, and quietly affectionate nature make her a lovely companion for a peaceful new chapter. Maple is a sweet senior girl who has perfected the art of enjoying life at an unhurried pace! Her favorite agenda is simple: find a comfortable bed, soak up a patch of indoor sunshine, enjoy a tasty snack, and spend time near her favorite people. Toys have never been particularly exciting to her, but mention peanut butter and suddenly you have her full attention! At about 60 pounds, Maple is an affectionate companion who loves being close to her people. She is not looking to climb into your lap. She is more of a settle-by-your-feet kind of girl, happiest knowing her favorite person is nearby. She knows several cues, including sit, paw, touch, and come, is house-trained, and handles time alone well. Maple appreciates familiar routines, comfortable places to rest, short outdoor breaks, leisurely walks, and opportunities to relax indoors. Her easygoing approach to daily life makes afternoons together especially enjoyable. Maple is looking for a calm, caring environment where she can be the only pet and live without children. She has shown reactivity toward dogs, including a serious altercation with another dog, so her future family should be committed to thoughtful management, positive reinforcement, and behavior support. Because Maple has previously escaped over a lower fence, secure physical fencing at least six feet high is recommended to help keep her safely contained. An experienced pet parent would help her navigate walks and daily life safely and confidently. Maple’s recent routine bloodwork was within normal limits. Her medical history includes successfully treated heartworm, removal of a low-grade mast cell tumor in 2024, and arthritis. She takes medication for anxiety, which has been working well for her, as well as medication for urinary incontinence, which is currently well managed. She is spayed, microchipped, and current on vaccinations. Maple brings companionship, tail wags, soft-eyed affection, sunny lounging sessions, and the quiet pleasure of sharing life with a dog who appreciates the cozy things! Could Maple be the sweet, snack-loving companion you’ve been hoping to welcome into your family? To learn more about adopting Maple, contact adopt@joyfulpets.com.

Story
Available for adoption! Good morning, Hal, here. I want to share with you my experience which has prepared me for a loving family and I hope if you are reading this you will feel compelled to consider adopting me! I heard my owner say it would be kinder to surrender me to the shelter. My question was kinder to whom! Luckily for me (and my fursister with the same condition) I heard that Ming's assistant was going to bring us north and work with us to help us recover what ever control might be possible. She took us to a specialist who said we suffered from neurological issues but that there was no conventional treatment. But that was not the end of our quest for help as we got remedies from the Homeopath and Ming's assistant would hold us close to comfort us and make it possible for us to eat the chicken & rice meals she prepared. The road to recovery was long but the unending support of Ming & his assistant continued. I am happy to report that our issues are nearly resolved. So if you have room in your heart & home for an awesome, precious boy please send an email to the Rescue (WOW.Rescue@yahoo.com) for information & an application. The unconditional love I will give you will be a great blessing! PS. Ming says I would be fine to be adopted by myself as he has taught me to be independent and Ming is always right.

Story
🐾 Meet Honeysuckle — Sweet as Her Name! 🐾🌼 This beautiful girl is 5 months old, 35 pounds, and believed to be a Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix! 💛 Honeysuckle was owner surrendered through absolutely no fault of her own. Her previous family simply didn’t have the time a young puppy needs and deserves.

She can be a little shy when first meeting someone new, but give her a little time and her sweet, loving personality shines through. Honeysuckle enjoys having fun and would absolutely thrive with an active family who will include her in their adventures, give her plenty of love, and help her grow into the amazing dog she’s destined to be. 🌼 5 months old 🐾 35 lbs 💕 Spayed 💉 Up to date on vaccinations 📍 Available to meet in Jackson, TN 🚐 Transport available for an additional fee. Honeysuckle didn’t get to stay with her first family, but we’re determined to make sure her next home is her forever home. ❤️ Could this sweet little flower be the missing piece of your family?
